Organic Spirulina

Spirulina is a freshwater cyanobacteria with remarkable nutritional properties, including high levels of proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Its blue-green color is due to the presence of phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant pigment.

Spirulina is composed of a variety of nutrients essential for the body:

• Plant proteins;
• Vitamins;
• Beta-carotene;
• Minerals and trace elements;
• Phycocyanin;
• Gamma-linolenic acid.

It is worth noting that it does not contain saturated fats, sugar and salt. It can therefore be consumed by people suffering from heart failure, diabetics and hypertensives, of course in agreement with the doctor.

Rich in essential nutrients, spirulina contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system and helps reduce fatigue thanks to its iron content, thus promoting better vitality. This composition is particularly useful for preventing nutritional deficiencies, a common issue among vegetarians and vegans.

Spirulina also contributes to skin health, thanks to its amino acids which contribute to cell regeneration and its antioxidants, which protect cells against oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Finally, thanks to its high protein and iron content, spirulina is an interesting supplement for active people, contributing to muscle recovery and maintaining vitality after exercise.

Our spirulina is grown in India, in shallow freshwater ponds containing alkaline water with a temperature between 28°C and 35°C, in an environment protected from any pollution, contaminants or pesticides.

Once harvested, the spirulina is filtered. A green paste, called "biomass", is then collected, which is drained and then pressed manually to extract the water.

Through this process, the biomass is transformed into fine filaments that resemble spaghetti, which are then cold-dried (at less than 50°C) in order to preserve the nutritional integrity of the product) and then ground until granules or flakes are obtained.

These are then compressed (also cold) to make tablets.

Thus, our spirulina is free of excipients, clumping agents or additives and is 100% pure.

Since May 7, 2017, spirulina has been part of the scope of EU regulation RCE 889/2008, which allows it to be granted access to the organic label. This label guarantees the compliance of spirulina with the organic farming charter:

• not GMO,
• no ionizing radiation during storage,
• no chemical or mineral fertilizers except mineral nitrogen,
• respect for sustainable development and the environment,
• conservation of soil, water and air.

We have chosen not to offer spirulina of French origin for three main reasons:

1. Due to our climate not being very suitable for spirulina, it is necessary to recreate a growing environment similar to the original tropical climate, unfortunately with the help of artificial lighting and heating.
2. Its price is prohibitive because the yields of French artisanal crops are relatively modest.
3. French spirulina is not necessarily of better nutritional quality.
